Where can I find the best electoral map on-line?

[mountebank]

I'm looking for the best, most up-to-date electoral college map of the United States for the up-coming election. Where can I find one where they shade states "leaning Kerry" or "leaning Bush" as well as the traditional red and blue?

for day to day polling, and a great calculator is US Election Atlas.

4. I saw two I really liked, one which warped the country according

to electoral vote weight, and another which did shades of purple.

But, darn it, I forget the addies. Saw them listed at DU, though, so someone should recognize them and come up with a link or two.

5. This guy is a RWer but provides great analysis.

And tries to keep his bias out of the way of the facts.

9. WHY do people use Red for dems and Blue for reps????

I think its become convention to have it the other way

[tritsofme]

11. Because

he says that traditionally the challenger is red and the incumbent is blue.

Sometimes you see RW crap like that, but his analyisis is good.

13. So what do you do when they both are challengers?

After all, there arent really any incumbents in this election.
